A little bit rough and something new
Yesterday I got superb results from using the Fatboy on 9 for all three passes, so I decided to try and duplicate that today - ouch!  A few small weepers plus an angry neck remind me that my face cannot take such high settings on consecutive days.  If I use other razors or dial down the FB for a day or two, then 9 is amazing.  I just don't get as good a shave dialed down, at least so far.  I am going to try an use the FB at lower settings for a while to compare its performance to when I use it on nine.

Today was also my first time using Pinaud Clubman as an aftershave.  I got it yesterday on a whim from a local drugstore and liked the scent.  Due to the rough shave today, Clubman was quite the stinger, and I used CRSW Jd'O balm to help put out the fire.  After the drama has died down, it is a very close shave and my skin feels smooth.
